What is Dysport and can I get this treatment in Salt Lake City?

By Esme Spence - Dysport became popular across the world in recent years when it became apparent that it could help diminish the look of crow's feet and wrinkles. This happens because it causes freezing in the face. If you can't make the movement that emphasizes the wrinkle, the wrinkle may as well not exist. It is a procedure that is bringing happiness to thousands of people and helping them feel more confident in themselves.

But what is Dysport? This chemical is derived from a Botulinum neurotoxin that is safe for cosmetic use. It was created to be used against Cervical Dystonia, an illness that causes pain and discomfort of the neck and distortion of muscles; however it is now most commonly used in cosmetic procedures. But how effective is it and what are the pros and cons?


Dysport is considered by some to be the ultimate means by which to combat wrinkles and to prevent those that could appear in the future. It is safe to participate in as long as it is used by a registered expert and generally begins to show results immediately. The full results will continue to appear over a few days, continually getting better. This procedure is now available to all that wish to experience it, and it is on offer at various clinics, spas and salons across the nation.

If you book into your local salon and request a Dysport treatment, it is more than likely you will be doing so for some cosmetic purpose. This is not, however, the reason for which the substance was created and its ability to combat wrinkles is merely a by-product. It was in fact created to combat the side effects of the illness Cervical Dystonia.

This illness can cause spasms in the body leading to distortion of limbs and muscles, with resulting pain. An injection of this pain fighting substance is believed to help as it blocks the sensory nerves that project the pain messages to the brain, as well as relaxing muscles. People who receive injections for this form of Dystonia see an improvement in their pain levels and are more comfortable. Although it is useful in this area, it is always best to consult with your doctor if you are in pain, as there may be other more suitable methods of treating this.

Some people also find this useful for treating other ailments. Other wrinkle fighters are used to treat hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweat and it may be possible that Dysport would do the same job, as both products work similarly. This is a syndrome that is usually treated with prescription anti-perspirants, sprays and roll-ons. This hasn't been proven to help long term, but the injections will balance out the problem and could relieve the sufferer for months at a time.

One of the main benefits of getting a treatment is that it generally lasts about 4 months, with some variation depending on the client. This procedure is relatively inexpensive and is practical as it doesn't require constant re-injection.

There is also no need for anaesthetic, so you don't have to take time off work or suffer through lengthy after care. You can swing by on your lunch hour or at the weekend! If you are seeking a permanent result that cannot be changed then this is not the option for you.

If you want to take advantage of the benefits of Dysport then contact a clinic or spa today. Also, ask about Botox!
